Sibling for River...

We have a little girl called River but we're struggling to find a name for baby number 2.

There are a few names we like that are also along the nature theme which is DH's preference but I favour more traditional ("normal") names, so we're struggling for options that we both agree on.

Boy and girl names needed please :)

Did you genuinely think that was even remotely funny?

Sage, Willow, Rowan, Isla, Heather all ‘normal’ / traditional names but still nature themed!

River Phoenix the late actor had siblings called Joaquin, Summer, Rain and Liberty.
You've had some sensible and silly suggestions by PPs.

Any name really. Your second child’s name doesn’t have to have any connotation to your first DC’s name

Surprised it too as long as it did for Heather to be suggested.

My mother came up with a truly bizarre name for me. I asked my dad why he agreed to it and he said he gave up trying to argue with her but insisted on a more normal middle name, which is what I used at school. I changed it by deed poll as soon as I legally could.
